My heart hurts for Lindani Myeni’s friends and family. I hope they receive so much love and kindness right now.

This report I’m hearing about Lindani Myeni being shot and killed by the Hawaiian police makes no sense at all to me. They shot and killed my friend/brother who was UNARMED saying their lives were in “jeopardy”.

I’m from Esikhawini and Lindani Myeni lived 2 blocks away from where I live.All his life he has never been a violent person! Nor a thief or whatever.. this is sad!!

Police in America Kill Black People for Fun.

@Lindzeka_usa

I got a call 2 days ago about his passing, to share info on how to go about sending a body home(SA) from my previous experience. Police brutality is getting worse by the day. My heart is so heavy. Condolence­s to the Family

I worked with Lindani, what is being conveyed here about him comes as a shock to us who knew him well.

@mphompofu1

I didn’t know this man but my heart is so broken. Saw pictures of him and his family and that broke me further. Praying for our people around the globe. May the Lord protect you. Rest in Power Lindani. #JusticeFor­LindaniMye­ni
